[yandytex] Future of Y&Y-TeX

[Jochen Autschbach]

Lately I've been using MiKTeX, LY1 encoding, and the old Y&Y dviwindo executable as the DVI previewer. This setup works fine with Y&Y's mathtimy package & fonts, and with the MTPro-II fonts. I have problems with Y&Y's Lucida because the old font names don't seem to be properly supported anymore in recent latex distributions. I was hoping that someone would figure out how to compile dviwindo in order to keep this excellent DVI viewer alive (esp. because one can copy & paste metafiles from dvi into powerpoint et al.).

Dear Y&Y-TeXers and former Y&Y-TeXers,

does anyone know if there is work in progress for a new Y&Y-TeX version
(including pdftex, e-TeX extensions etc.) --- or was Karl Berry's
preparatory work in vain?

There are more and more LaTeX packages using e-TeX extensions so problems
for users of good old Y&Y-TeX are increasing...

In case we all should have to migrate to Miktex: perhaps people who have
already done this could give us advice how to do this (use of Y&Y fonts,
dviwindo, dvipsone with Miktex etc.)

Kind regards
Dietrich Grau
